this study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. the authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (orc), air bottoming cycle (abc), and abc along with steam injection (si-abc). in addition, u...

Solar Thermal Power Plants with concentrating technologies are important for providing a major share of the clean and renewable energy needed in the future. Dish based system is a promising option for power generation since it has high concentration ratio and it does not require a large space. This paper presents a proposed solar dish based combined cycle: air based Brayton cycle as the topping...

In this paper, an innovative power plant, constituted by a gas turbine in combined-cycle fuelled by a synthesis gas (or syngas), produced in a local biomass gasifier, is analyzed. The plant is integrated with an external combustion system, fed by cellulosic biomass, connected to a heat exchanger able to increase the air temperature, as in a regenerative cycle. The combustion products pass throu...

Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

The combined cycle gas turbine integrates the Brayton cycle as topping cycle and the steam turbine Rankine cycle as bottoming cycle in order to achieve higher thermal efficiency and proper utilization of energy by minimizing the energy loss to a minimum. In this work, the effect of various operating parameters such as maximum temperature and pressure of Rankine cycle, turbine inlet temperature ...
